Willowdale's Ron (Wick) Drury - Richard Dowson

Howdy Russ
 
You might want to review this. My old buddy Patrick Folkes of Lion's Head Ontario sent me the information. Our old friend Ron (Wick) Drury of Bying Avenue, Willowdale headed west May 5, 1958. He intended to ride his horse to Vancouver - or at least somewhere in Alberta. I was supposed to go with him but ran out of money - and nerve.
 
All went according to plan until he met a little lady in Huntsville. The trip terminated there - the romance collapsed and he went on to Alberta by car.
 
Wick never worked in a factory again. His final job was his dream job. He took care of the team of horses at the Black Creek Pioneer Village. He is now retired and living in Elliot Lake, Ontario.
 
Between the trip with the horse and retirement he had a stint in the Canadian Army and worked for many years at a cattle company in Carstairs, Alberta.
 
Enjoy
